Oh my gosh!!! You are all so rad!!! You sound great!!!” - Sharon Van Etten“Without a doubt, one of the WOW moments of Night & Day Festival. They exude a comraderie that is irresistibly magnetic”.

“You don't hear harmonies like this often. The blend of voices is life affirming"
Tom Dunne
Formed to pay homage to trailblazing women in music, The Kates are an exciting five-piece from West Cork comprising Eve Clague, Liz Clark, Mary Beth O’Mahony, Míde Houlihan and Paula K O’Brien.
All five members are established artists in their own right, with years of songwriting, live performance, and original releases behind them. Now united under one name, The Kates have created a powerful collection of original music, showcased in their debut EP Pictures Here Of Dreams.
Their early singles earned a four-week feature on the RTE Radio 1 Recommends list, and with sold-out shows already under their belt, the band is now recording their highly anticipated debut album.
Don’t miss the chance to catch The Kates live.
BABYRAT
Bursting out of the heart of Cork City, BABYRAT has the future of music looking Pretty in Punk with their abrasive bitch-pop sound.
Sonically landing somewhere between The Strokes and Olivia Rodrigo, BABYRAT’s sing-along melodies are intertwined with unapologetic lyrics that are thrust forward by the electrifying future-nostalgia sound that the band have created. BABYRAT delivers “an infectious energy with a confidence and chemistry that is unmatched” – Mia Tobin Power, University Express.
Formed in November 2024, BABYRAT have already generated a loyal following since playing iconic Irish venues such as The Grand Social and a sold-out Cyprus Avenue. Circulation of their unreleased music created the excitement which earned them support slots with local heavy-hitters such as The Love Buzz and Ten Hail Marys.
